There are some mornings when the family just gets out of the wrong side of bed. And this was one of those days. We had not got much planned for the day in Jeri, and the lack of activity only exacerbated sisterly and paternal tensions.
What we needed was a bit of family bonding, and what better idea to all go and get a tattoo. Hang on, hold your horses. We’re not talking about anything life defining, but something that should last no more than the the time we are away …
It started with Emily, with an elegant dandelion, and continues on this track with an anchor for Bella with “fé” (faith / trust) woven into it, and mum with birds-on-a-wire and things went downhill when Dad asked for something across his shoulder and up the neck. I’ve never seen my three ladies say “Noooooh!” so vociferously. On reflections it is probably not a great idea to say to your tattooist “what do you feel like doing today?” The result is well.. for you to decide..

I take it these aren’t real tattoos? But what an unusual thing to try. How do they put them on? Do you have to sit still for ages? How long did they last?

They are some kind of inky henna – you should learn to do them – you’d be AMAZING at it!!! I’d like one of that gorgeous picture you drew us for our FortyFest 40th gift 😉
